There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman – who, of course, played an important role in the day. I mean, every good love story needs a loyal sidekick!
Hannah and Ashley have a quiet kind of connection that’s beautiful to witness. There’s a deep sense of respect and ease between them – the kind that only comes from two people who truly get each other. Their wedding day reflected that perfectly: heartfelt vows, intentional details, and a celebration that felt true to who they are as a couple. Magnolia Plantation provided the dreamiest backdrop with the live oaks, blooming gardens, and golden light that Charleston is known for. But what really stood out wasn’t the setting – it was the joy. Every look, every laugh, every tear… it all spoke to the strength of their love and the excitement of finally being able to call each other wife.
As a photographer, I’m always honored to tell stories like theirs. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful in the visual sense (though it absolutely was); it was beautiful because it was real. It’s hard to believe that this was my very first same-sex wedding in Charleston, even though I’ve been in the industry for 14 years. I hope this was the first of many because I am truly, wholeheartedly believe that love is love. Congratulations, Ashley and Hannah! It was such a joy to capture this incredible day for you both (and Norman, too!)

Some weddings are more emotional than others and, for Sarah + Logan, this was especially true. After having to postpone their original wedding date abruptly due to a health scare, they said “I do!” just a year later – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They had waited a long time for […]
Lauren + James’ wedding day was one that won’t soon be forgotten. As a nod to their shared love of trying new restaurants, planner + designer extraordinaire, Allison Event Design, created a tented reception space with all of the restaurant-inspired details they love. A statement bar that wowwed guests, a mix of table sizes for […]
Becca + Stephen’s art deco inspired wedding at the American Theatre in downtown Charleston was one for the books! Their day was filled with so much love, joy, and thoughtfulness – I swear, the best weddings are always the ones that are centered around the couple and their family + friends. Sure, pretty details are […]
2025 got off to the very best start with Maggie + Britt! I absolutely ADORE these two and their wedding day was the perfect way to start the new year. Their shared love of the water and all of the natural beauty that the Lowcountry has to offer made the Regatta Inn a no-brainer choice […]
Payton + Connor’s rainy celebration at Lowndes Grove was the PERFECT way to close out the 2024 wedding season. When I first spoke with Payton, she told me that she envisioned a colorful wedding day – despite being married in late December. I LOVE that she went with bright florals and colors because it was […]
